CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=$(( $CPU_CORES + 1 )) isn't compatible with /bin/sh
on some Unix'es (like Solaris 10 and older) - though given the reliance
on /proc/cpuinfo in that script, it's not necessarily portable anyway.

I don't know about a - it's not either of b or c, though nothing else is
either, as we don't have a single, canonical/preferred method.
(Personally I use the build.sh script in util/modular, but that's more
 habit from doing this since before the others were written, than a
 evaluation that it's the best way.)
